| 0:05.3 | Today's daily highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. |
| 0:09.7 | Hey, so asking for a friend, question, question. |
| 0:12.1 | Okay. |
| 0:13.4 | Let's say I go to the store and buy the, you know, slice turkey. |
| 0:16.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:17.3 | Okay, from the deli. |
| 0:18.2 | Yeah. |
| 0:19.4 | Now, if that's sitting, let's say in room temperature, and it's wrapped up, how long does it take before maggots start crawling around? Oh, maggots? Oh, gosh. That's got to take a while. Yeah. Maggates require flies, correct? Oh, I don't think they always do, do they? |
| 0:37.7 | I feel like sometimes stuff just bonds. |
| 0:39.0 | The fly lays the maggots. It's got to be a few days, right? The fly lays the eggs. Okay, so the maggots in. Okay, so a question then. Why are you asking this? Okay, okay, I'll tell you. This sounds like something only I would, this would happen to, right? So I have these new boots I bought, and they're in a box that has a handle, right? |
| 0:58.5 | Okay. |
| 0:58.8 | It's a big box with a, you know, that little handle. |
| 1:01.9 | Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| 1:02.7 | So I was leaving the city, and I said, oh, my God, I only have one hand available, |
| 1:13.3 | because my other hand was busy, you know, carrying something else. |
| 1:20.1 | So I put some turkey and some papers and things in the box with the boots, okay? |
| 2:02.3 | I got home out, you know, in New Jersey and realized I left turkey in my boot box with my new boots. Oh, God. That was last Wednesday. Oh. That's kind of, is that fast? Well, I don't know. I don't know what's, what is, I'm going there today to open up the, the boot box. Okay. I think you're okay. I don't know. I think it's going to be probably gross and something's going to be spawning in there. I don't think you're going to have anything alive. It's not going to smell like new boot leather anymore. I think it's going to smell rank, but at least, you know. Well, at least Nate's right. A fly does have to lay its eggs on organic matter and it needs to be warm and moist. |
| 2:07.8 | But you could have flies in there. A lot of times they come in through the, like the sewer flies, they come in through the pipe. |
| 2:09.5 | But how would it get in the bag? |
| 2:14.9 | Yeah, I don't think they're in there. So maybe the worst thing that can happen is just an old turkey smell. |
